Abstract

During a 12-month camera trap study, we recorded woolly opossums scavenging prey remains from a Harpy eagle's nest in central Brazil. We review scavenging by New World marsupials and propose future studies using camera traps and experimental carcass removal to better understand this overlooked ecological interaction.
